Questions for Volume VII: Brief Lives
****Here are questions and topics to keep in mind before reading Vol. VII: Brief Lives. No spoilers please! And keep this to questions/topics to consider, not discussion or reflection. That will begin on April 5th***
Now heading into Book VII, where do you think the story is going? Are you sketching ideas in your mind, calculating the previous points, looking for a structure or a plan? Are you trying to hold on to the ideas as they rumble by, catching the smells and sounds of the moment, taking each one in, and then starting anew with the next?
What does this book say about perceptions? How personality, time and experience can alter what we are seeing? How often are the other senses contrasted against sight?
